I sent my twin boys to this school because of the price and the connection to the church. I withdrew them for several reasons. First of all, my husband was pulled in at the end of the day for an unexpected meeting regarding my sons. Basically, the teacher said that my sons had to spend all their time with an aide because unless they were being "entertained" they distracted the learning of the other students. While that might be true, no documentation was ever provided. I was sent a note home everyday and there was no mention of this issue. I was disappointed that they did not invite both parents, and that no meeting time was set-up in advance. I am a teacher, and I always contact a parent to set up a meeting if there is a major issue that needs to be discussed. Also, they expect children under the age of two to sit for extended periods of time. If you have an active child, this is not the place for you! Additionally, we were told to drop off the children at 7:40, but they were late everyday, and did not open the doors until 7:50. It is a private school who can pick and choose students. If your child does not fit the mold, then you can expect that they will try to make you leave.
